Elementary school students in North Carolina were reminded that Mother Nature is also a mother when they looked out their classroom window to see a Mama bear and her cub playing on the school's playground like it was the most natural thing in the world.
On Tuesday, Sept. 21, a fifth-grade class at Isaac Dickson Elementary School saw the bears playing in Asheville, North Carolina.
The class's teacher, Betsie Stockslager, recorded the moment before sharing it on social media.
"Y'all - seriously! This happened today," Stockslager said in her post on Instagram. "It made me so happy to watch this mama bear entertaining her cub and playing on our playground...this was after school, ya know - that time in the afternoon when you just have to take your kid to the playground to get their energy out!"

In the video, the bears can be seen going up the school's playground and down the slides, much to the delight of those watching.
The bears are not a new site on the school's campus, according to Stockslager. She even shared that the students go through training for if a bear shows up during school hours, ABC11 reported.
So, did the kids have to get right back to work? Nah. Stockslager said that with few people on campus, they decided to enjoy watching the bear play.
